The problem with comparing the speeds is that you are not really comparing like with like. There was a long time when the ACO had the speed trap in the wrong place. But also when you compare speeds from different sources you get different results. Years back I did my own set of apex speeds and peak speeds with Marshall Pruett's kit, I cross referenced my results against those of a LMP1 works team and while the results differed the difference was consistent. So it is about which calibration you trust most.
At Le Mans at the moment the hybrid cars are in lift and coast at the speed trap so we don't see their top speeds.
